Words As Weapons

Have you not a clue of

the magnitude of the

words you’ve just spoken

to me?

 

Don’t you know of the

devastating effect your

words have carelessly

inflicted on me?

 

You’re careful in other

aspects of your life, but

what about me? I am

your wife!

 

Can’t you for once just

pretend to believe and

grant my feelings a much

needed reprieve?

 

Not a thing hurts me more

than to know you don’t

care, so my dreams I have

chosen to cease to share.

 

And I’ll leave you with a

bit of advice: before you

speak to someone, always

think twice…

 

For words as weapons can hurt

more, you see, than any pain

you could cause someone physically.

[Amor-de-angel]

Words can hurt for along time.
Good write and well expressed

[Donald Cole]

and so real is the price words can tend to make us pay. It is awesome how the words come to us as we go or after we've felt the emotion hat they can bring.

[PjsOK]

Those scars of emotional and verbal abuse do not show, but they last forever on our soul. I am glad you use writing as your escape.

[*~Imperfectly Me~*]

Wow... This is full of emotions and you express them well... Great job! It has a great flow and a good message too...

[bluessadmood]

yes words so strong ,can blast one feeling ,so many words can change a whole life,they can hurt like any piece of weapon

[Lex]

Very brutually honest write. What did you lose your temper over to cause this?

[Fantasyfairy]

yes, words are more weapons and more painful than anything physical. You can see physical scars, but the ones left by words are invisible and just as painful. XX

[Gary H]

I do hope you were able to put across these feelings as eloquently as you have written them here. Sometimes as poets we tend to write to get rid of angst and don't express it in our real lives making problems resurface - not that I'm suggesting you start an arguement of course!

[Heart and soul]

I totally understand...

[Ken Simm.]

You are so very correct. The only thing I would change is I am your Husband. Because it really does work both ways. If this was off the cuff then........ A remarkable energetic piece. you can really feel the anger coming through. but in an extremely controlled manner. Controlled passion. Ken
